In recent years, human and wildlife monitoring studies have identified perfluoroalkyl acids
(PFAA) worldwide. This has led to efforts to better understand the hazards that may be …

Per‐and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are widely distributed across the world and are
expected to be of concern to human health and the environment. The review focuses on …

Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), a member of the perfluoroalkyl acids that have wide
commercial applications, has recently been detected in humans and wildlife. The current …

Background Only limited data exist on lactation as an exposure source of persistent
perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs) for children. Objectives We studied occurrence and levels …

Background Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) are man-
made, ubiquitous, and persistent contaminants in the environment, wildlife, and humans …

The environmental contaminant inorganic arsenic (iAs) is a human toxicant and carcinogen.
Most mammals metabolize iAs by reducing it to trivalency, followed by oxidative methylation …

Perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) are surfactants used in consumer products and persist in the
environment. Some PFAAs elicit adverse effects on rodent development and survival. PFAAs …

Objectives Perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoate (PFOA) can be
released of perfluorinated compounds by biotic and/or metabolic decomposition. Due to …

Polyfluoroalkyl compounds (PFCs), such as perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and
perfluorooctanoate (PFOA), are ubiquitous, man-made chemicals. Human data suggest that …

Perfluorooctanesulfonate and its salts (PFOS) are derived from perfluorooctanesulfonyl
fluoride, the basic chemical building block for many sulfonyl-based fluorochemicals used as …
